The king of Tonga has a plan. According to his speech from the throne at the closing of Tonga's legislative assembly, there's a mysterious investor who wants to park a billion dollars in Tonga's central bank and take it out when they need to.
Unfortunately, according to the Dominion-Post, there's a high likelihood that he's from Nigeria.
This is what happens in a monarchy, where there's not even a tenuous link between power and merit, and where there is no way of holding rulers accountable for their mistakes.

Lefties are so good at not reading things properly-
The article actually said the investor was American and that the offer looked suspiciously like the Nigerian type scam. Not that the investor was Nigerian.

I'm sure Americans are quick learners when it comes to scamming - and want to be top in everything so why not in the Nigerian national pastime?
